Feel free to modify these scripts and add/substitute your own words to customise the scripts to suit you.
This will help you tune into how you are honestly feeling which makes EFT so much more effective. State
the phrases out loud to really help engage your entire energy system and neurology in the process. Before
you begin tapping, rate your intensity from 0 to 10. 0 being fine and 10 being the most upset you could be
about the issue. Write the figure down and compare how you feel after each round and rate your intensity
again. Usually your intensity will have gone down, if it has not, repeat the set up again more emphatically.
If you find it difficult to rate how you feel by numbers, ask yourself how big or small the issue is, or if it
is still there and how do you know it is still there? In others words, how do you know you have an issue?
Keep tapping until you feel you have made the shift you want, you’ll know when, trust yourself. The EFT
Shortcut and Basic Recipe can be found here: http://energyandintention.com/eft_shortcut.htm and

1 Script for allowing your feelings
It is very important to allow our feelings so we keep the energy of the feeling moving and flowing so it does not
become stuck. Judging, criticising, denying or suppressing our feelings stops the flow of our life energy.
1. Even though I don’t allow myself to feel my feelings, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway
2. Even though when I feel . . . I feel ashamed and guilty and that just makes me feel worse, I deeply and
completely accept myself

3. Even though I believe there is something wrong with how I’m feeling and maybe something wrong with me
too, I accept that that is how I feel right now and that it is okay to feel this way
TH Allowing my feelings
EB I can’t allow them, they’re too painful and horrible
SE My feelings are “bad”
UE But I still feel them
UN Even more strongly
UC It’s wrong to feel this way
CB I’m wrong
UA What do I do?

TH I’m stuck again


EB Maybe I can just feel
SE And breathe
UE And feel whatever it is
UN There’s the guilt
UC It’s okay
CB Now the shame
UA That’s okay too

TH I can feel it
EB It won’t kill me
SE Just breathe into it
UE I’m okay
UN I can feel this
UC I am feeling this
CB I can give myself permission to feel
UA It is safe to feel this

Do as many rounds as you need to bring your intensity to zero. After one round, if the intensity is not at zero,
change the language in the set up statement to reflect this. This is because the subconscious mind is very literal
and we also need to acknowledge that some progress has been made but the issue is still there. Even though I
still have some of this issue left or Even though I still have this remaining issue. . . I deeply. . . You may find
that permission and safety are important core issues that may arise when working with allowing your feelings
and allowing yourself to feel and express them, even if just to yourself. Work these two important factors into the
set up statements and reminder phrases accordingly.

2 Script for anger
1. Even though I feel I’m ready to blow (you can fill in the reason(s) here if you like), I completely accept how
I feel and I choose not to judge or criticise how I am feeling right now, I just want to let off some steam
and that’s okay!!!!
2. Even though . . . really makes me mad! and I have every reason to feel this way, I honour how angry I feel
3. Even though my blood is boiling, I choose to let some of this anger go FOR ME so I can feel more at ease
and peaceful

TH This anger
EB I’m going to blow my top!
SE It’s been bubbling for a long time
UE I’m ready to let it go
UN No I’m not
UC Why should I?
CB I’m steaming mad
UA All these feelings bubbling inside

TH I acknowledge I feel this way


EB I’m sick of pretending
SE And stuffing it all inside
UE For who???
UN I’m only hurting me
UC I’m exhausted!!
CB I NEED to let some of this go
UA But I don’t know how

TH I’ll just keep tapping


EB And tapping
SE I feel the way I feel and that’s it!
UE I choose to express how I feel, even if only to myself
UN That feels good
UC I feel more relieved
CB I choose to give myself permission to say anything to me about how I feel
UA I choose to feel my feelings and let some of this pressure dissolve

EFT Scripts Noreen Barron, EFT Cert-I 4


3 Script for guilt
1. Even though I feel so guilty, I accept how I feel and choose not to fight it any more

2. Even though this guilt feels like it is consuming me, I completely love and accept myself anyway
3. Even though I feel I am wrong, I completely love and accept myself anyway

TH This guilt
EB It feels hot
SE It feels horrible
UE I feel horrible
UN There’s something wrong with me
UC I am wrong
CB I don’t want to feel this way
UA I want it to go away

TH Remaining guilt
EB What did I do wrong?
SE Me, I’m wrong
UE Remaining horrible guilt
UN Remaining guilt
UC Remaining feeling of wrongness
CB I hate the guilt
UA It’s horrible

TH I can choose peace instead of this


EB No I can’t!
SE Yes, I can
UE I deserve to be punished!
UN Because I did something wrong
UC Maybe I can see it differently
CB I choose to forgive myself
UA But I didn’t do anything wrong!

TH I choose peace
EB I deserve peace
SE No, I don’t
UE Yes, I do
UN I am a good person
UC It’s shifting
CB It’s lessening its hold on me
UA I feel lighter

Listen out for any tailenders (objections) here. For example when you say “I am a good person”. Ask yourself,
does that feel emotionally true? If it doesn’t, write down the reasons why, and tap on it. You can do this for any
objections you may hear in your mind while tapping on the above script or any of these scripts.

that right now

TH I can’t bear this


EB I don’t like it
SE I want it to go away
UE I hate it
UN I can’t accept myself with this . . .
UC Get lost . . .
CB I can’t stand . . .

5 Script for developing trust in ourselves
1. Even though I hold the belief that it is not safe to trust because I’ve always felt unsafe, I really don’t want
to be hurt and let down again, I honour that belief, it protected me until now, maybe that belief no longer
serves my highest good
2. Even though I don’t trust myself or my needs, I choose to know that learning to trust myself is an act of
self love, self respect and self loyalty
3. Even though I’ve been burned in the past, I trusted the wrong people and I’m really angry with them and
myself, I am willing to learn to listen to what is my true voice and trust it. I know on some level this voice
has my highest good at heart and I can trust this voice. I choose to open my heart little by little and to
feel safe again in asking and trusting my needs will be met.

TH I don’t trust myself


EB Or anyone else
SE It’s not safe to trust
UE I’ll be let down

CB Maybe that won’t happen this time
UA Yeah, right!

TH Maybe I can start by trusting MY feelings


EB But I feel wrong to feel the way I feel
SE But I still feel it
UE So I’ll just feel it and see how it goes
UN Maybe I can open myself up just a little
UC That feels good
CB And scary at the same time!
UA That’s okay! It’s okay to feel afraid

6 Script for feeling stuck
Try this script when you’re feeling stuck. Scan your body to determine if you have any physical sensations of
feeling stuck. For example, it may manifest as a knot or lump in your throat, a tightness in your solar plexus,
a constriction in your gut. Be really descriptive in how you describe your physical sensations and use your own
language in your tapping too. If an image or metaphor comes to mind use it in your tapping. Tailoring the phrases
to suit you and how you feel will help you to tune in and make EFT more effective. Try this exercise for all the
scripts.

1. Even though feeling stuck feels tight and constricting, I accept how I feel right now
2. Even though this issue (be as specific as you can here) won’t budge and I feel frustrated and want it gone,
I allow it to be there just for now

3. Even though I feel stuck, the act of allowing the stuck feeling the right to be there and thereby accepting
it, is what could help me to dissolve it

TH This stuck feeling


EB It’s not nice
SE It feels stifling
UE I feel helpless and trapped
UN I can’t move
UC Either way
CB I’m stuck
UA I feel stuck, afraid to go back and afraid to go forward

TH It’s loosening
EB It feels less tight
SE But I still feel stuck
UE That’s the way I feel
UN I acknowledge my feelings
UC It’s still there
CB But lessening
UA This stuck sensation

TH It’s definitely dissolving


EB I feel it
SE It’s still there . . . a little
UE It’s melting
UN With my attention
UC It’s going
CB It’s moving
UA It’s still moving

EFT Scripts Noreen Barron, EFT Cert-I 8


7 Second script for feeling stuck
1. Even though I feel stuck, this stuck energy doesn’t move no matter what I do and I’m tired of it, I love and
accept myself anyway
2. Even though everything seems to be sticking to this stuck energy and it makes me feel . . . I’m trying to
accept how I feel about this
3. Even though this energy feels as hard as a rock, it’s like as if it’s been stuck there forever, I don’t think
it’s possible that it will ever move, but I’m open to the possibility that I can move this energy with all the
resources available to me right now
4. Even though it feels difficult to change my mind about this and how I see it, it feels like I can’t find the
solution no matter how hard I look, that’s okay

TH I feel stuck
EB I feel stuck
SE It won’t budge
UE No matter what I do
UN It’s useless
UC It’s hopeless
CB This energy just won’t move
UA It’s going to be here forever

SE All I have to do is help this energy move
UE And I can do that with my intention
UN Am I willing?

CB Because it wants to move and can’t

TH Maybe a conflict?
EB Maybe a belief?
SE A block?
UE A shield?
UN It must be subconscious
UC Because if I knew
CB I’d do something about it
UA Or would I?

TH Maybe some part of me doesn’t want to let this go

EFT Scripts Noreen Barron, EFT Cert-I 9


EB Maybe it doesn’t feel safe
SE Maybe there’s some reason for holding on to this stuck energy
UE I’m open to knowing the answer
UN I’m open to receiving
UC Whatever it is I’m ready
CB Whatever it is I’m willing
UA I’m willing to heal

8 Script for working with intense memories
1. Even though my brain has the perception that this memory is dangerous and is a threat to my safety and
survival, I choose to really appreciate and love my brain for trying to protect me and keep me safe
2. Even though my focus and energy is on avoiding feeling this memory at all costs and I don’t want to feel it

it’s the only way I feel I can cope and live with this overwhelm and that’s okay
3. Even though my nerves go into overdrive whenever I even think of this memory, it scares the living daylights
out of me, I choose to engage my ability to calm and comfort myself by tapping on all these feelings and
breathing through them
4. Even though my brain did a great job of burying this memory for me so I wouldn’t have to experience or
feel the hurt/pain, the truth is, the hurt is still there and I choose now to feel some of it, bit by bit, until
all the hurt is gone and I know that during all this I am safe and protected always

believe that it won’t kill me or swallow me up, I can feel it little by little until all parts of me feel peaceful,

11 Script for letting go
Many of us fear letting go. What if we can’t get it back? What if we end up alone? What if we end up being
wrong and having to do it all over again? What if they get away with it, again? What if we stop trying? What
will happen then? You know you need to let go when you feel stuck, when you see the same patterns of behaviour
repeating themselves over and over again in your life. One of the biggest obstacles we have and use for not letting
go, is our attachment to a situation or person. We want a situation or person to be different than what it really
is or was and very often this leads us down the road of denial. We resist what happened or what is happening
now, and this resistance leads to a feeling of being stuck.
Using the analogy of eating; we ingest food and assimilate what we need and eliminate - let go of what we
don’t need or what doesn’t serve us. If we don’t eliminate or let go of what we don’t need, we become congested,
constipated, full, heavy and laden down. The same thing happens with our experiences in life. Only we seem to
have more difficulty in letting go of certain experiences, so we hold on and we keep holding on because sometimes
we just don’t know how to let go. Customise the set up statements and phrases to really help you tune in to how
letting go relates to you and your life.

1. Even though the thoughts of letting go fill me with . . . I completely accept how I feel

2. Even though I don’t want to let go because . . . I completely accept that’s the way I feel right now
3. Even though it does not feel safe to let go because . . . I love and accept myself anyway

TH I don’t want to let go


EB I’m afraid
SE I can’t
UE I’ll be hurt again
UN I need my guard up
UC I have to remember
CB No I don’t
UA Yes, I do

TH I don’t know how to let go


EB And that’s okay
SE I don’t need to know how
UE I just need to be willing
UN And open to letting go
UC It’s hard not to hold on for dear life
CB And that’s okay
UA It’s how I feel

TH Letting go feels . . .
EB And that makes me feel . . .
SE And that’s okay
UE It’s okay to feel that way
UN No it’s not
UC Yes it is
CB I feel it anyway so why pretend?
UA It’s exhausting keeping it all inside

TH I don’t have to do that any more


EB But I don’t know what else to do
SE That’s okay

EFT Scripts Noreen Barron, EFT Cert-I 15


UE No it’s not
UN I’m stuck, I feel stuck
UC I feel stuck
CB I feel stuck
UA I feel this feeling . . .

Note and locate where in your body you feel this feeling and do a few rounds of tapping on that. If you do
not have any bodily sensations, that’s okay too, do more rounds on how you’re feeling and until you can say ’I
can let go’ ’It is safe to let go’ ’I give myself permission to let go’ ’I deserve to let go’ and they feel true on a 0
to 10 scale, 10 being the most true and 0 being the most false.

12 Script for feeling overwhelmed
1. Even though I feel overwhelmed and it feels really uncomfortable, I accept how I feel

2. Even though I am petrified of feeling my feelings, I’m doing my best to avoid them but they just won’t go
away no matter how hard I resist them and want to get rid of them, I accept and honour that this is really
difficult for me
3. Even though I don’t like this, that’s an understatement . . . ! I choose to accept that I feel uncomfortable
with all this

TH I feel overwhelmed
EB It feels awful

UE I feel completely lost

13 Script for not feeling good enough
Rate the truth of not feeling good enough from 0 to 10. 0 being not true at all and 10 being the most true it
could be. Write the number down and see if it shifts and changes as you tap. Make sure to say it out loud to
engage your entire neurology. It’s also a great way to test how true it feels to YOU.
1. Even though I don’t feel good enough, I accept how I feel
2. Even though I have never felt good enough because . . . (what comes to mind right now as you say this?)

14 Script for losing weight

reasons, underactive thyroid gland and so on. In this post, we’ll address some of the emotional contributors. Are

15 Script for repeating patterns
We often repeat the same pattern or imprint to finally resolve it. Pay attention to the themes and patterns that
keep showing up in your life over and over. What are you sick and tired of? What depletes you and tires you
out? Do you often feel the same way in different relationships? What do these feelings remind you of?

1. Even though this . . . keeps coming up, I accept how I feel


2. Even though I keep repeating . . . maybe this pattern has a message for me

love myself
